Website Design for Charity on Wordpress

We are building a foundation whose mission is to create opportunities for educating children worldwide. We would like to build the site on Wordpress and need an impactful design to stand out and raise funds. We do not want a template, this will be a custom design.

We'd like to hear about your experience with other charity sites and your process for web design. Please send samples of work!

We have developers that can implement the design, but if you do implementation of your design on Wordpress that's a plus!
